Acne cream makes my skin really dry?

any solutions ?Acne cream makes my skin really dry?
Yes.....Acne cream makes my skin really dry?
If the cream is working, then you might want to tolerate the dryness until the acne is gone.





If you're looking for a good product, try Dadashie - www.dadashie.com If you happen to live in Southern California... the reason being that it's not only a product, but a treatment, which is only available in California.





Other than that, you might want to try Retin-A in place of whatever cream you're using now. You can also use a moisturizer that is oil free and contains hyaluronic acid - a company called Hylunia makes a nice hyaluronic acid serum. It's an ingredient that absorbs water, making your skin hydrated, but not with the use of oil.





Good luck!
If the cream is working on your acne (and you don't want to try something else), try Neutrogena oil free moisturizer. Apply it after your acne cream - it won't make it less effective. If your skin is REALLY dry (or you're already using an oil free moisturizer to no avail), get some Australian emu oil to apply at night. I know that adding oil to your acne sounds crazy, but I use it (with other natural oils) to treat my acne %26amp; it's the only thing I've found that works without drying out my skin. all you need is a few drops at night. Put it on after you wash your face %26amp; BEFORE you put on the acne cream. It will absorb very quickly %26amp; leave your skin baby soft. If your face feels greasy after 5 minutes - then you put too much on. You can also use it in the day when it's very cold %26amp; you shouldn't use it when it's hot or humid. A 2oz bottle will last you for months %26amp; it will get rid of your dry skin within a few days of using it :)





BTW:


Oil doesn't cause acne! You can have dry skin %26amp; still have acne. Bacteria causes acne - that's why all acne treatments have bacteria killing ingredients. Oil can clog your pores %26amp; cut off oxygen, giving bacteria the chance to multiply %26amp; cause a pimple - but if there's no bacteria present you will just get clogged pores. Emu oil won't clog your pores %26amp; is a natural antibacterial/anti-fungal.
Most acne creams (I'm assuming the one you're using is medicated) dry the skin. It's to get rid of oil -%26gt; oil usually makes spots worse/gives you spots because you've got greasy skin. By getting rid of the oil, you should find you don't get as many spots. This happened to me and the doctor gave me a smaller strength of cream. I also got anti-biotics and I barely EVER get spots now. Speak to your doctor about it if it's bothering you ;)

ask your doctor for an oil-based alternative. this will stop your skin from becoming dry.


or, i suggest only applying the cream to the bad areas. i.e don't cover your whole face in it, only the problem zones.


try to moisturise aswell - that way you won't need to switch creams, and your skin will become amazing and smooth.



Try moisturising reguarly , but if you have Acne you may be better off going to your doctor and asking about the Pill .Dianete is one make which is ment to clear up acne i have used that before and the results were amazing .
Acne Cream has an ingredient called benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide drys up your acne, which makes your skin really dry. In the meantime, put on some moisturizer around the pimple, not directly on the pimple because the cream will rub off.
Go to the drug store and ask for a really really good face moisturizer. Not just body lotion. The skin on your face and neck Is different from the fest of your body. Also, exfoliate to get all the dead skin of.
Stop using the acne cream you are using right now and try visiting a dermatologist for a proper cream to use...they probably know what's best for your skin than any other suggestions out there.
Thats the idea, it dries the pores, because acne is caused by blocked pores....



That's a common problem with many types of acne creams. However, there are other types that are specially made with this problem in mind. See my source for more info.
i wouldnt use creams for acne because it sucks the moisture out of your skin. use a acne face wash and after your use if put moisturizer or lotion of your face.
yep most of them will do that use a moisturizing cream after you use the acne cream it should help =)


(sometimes if your face drys out 2 much you get more acne breakouts)



Then you don't have acne.


Urgh, people think if they get a couple of pimples once a week they have acne.
moisturizing cream ?


acne cream is nothing but chemicals, what do you expect.
Use Witch Hazel instead. Creams just clog up your pores.
our acne cream doesnt suit your skin type duhhh.
Yes stop using it.
